The Franco Prussian War in 15mm

It has been a long while since my last post. Lots of stuff too boring to tell but I have decided to give it another go and so I present you with my most recent work, the Franco Prussian War in 15mm.

The figures are Essex Miniatures which I find are very cleanly cast and easy to paint. The basing system is intended for the next member of the Fire and Fury rules family - the "Age of Valor" which covers 19th century European warfare, hopefully to be released in 2017.

The units are the second battalions of the 45th & 71st Line regiments. The flags are from Flags for the Lads 20mm range (sadly no more) scanned and reduced to fit the smaller scale.

I am currently working on some supporting French infantry and a sprinkling of artillery. Oh, and a big tank kit!

Waterloo to Mons

As a teenager I was bought a copy of Michael Glover's book "Warfare From Waterloo to Mons". The legions of Airfix conversions I created are now long gone but I still have my original copy, it is still a great read.

This blog is my continuing attempt recreate the chapters of the book in miniature.
